US President Donald Trump called off plans to stream the Fort Hood attacker’s execution by firing squad, according to the BBC.

Trump said on Thursday that “many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die”. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously announced that the public would be able to watch the firing squad execution of former US army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan. Hasan fatally shot 13 unarmed US soldiers at a military base in Texas in 2009, injuring another 32.
